Kayla Huszar - Chill Like a Mother

Kayla Huszar - Chill Like a Mother Kayla Huszar, creative therapist for moms. I’m an expressive art therapist who helps make mom life more bearable with creativity and mindfulness.

I believe women are not set up for success in parenting. Constantly striving for the invisible standard leaves mothers feeling inadequate and overstimulated. When using the creative arts they have this beautiful moment of sacred stillness. A simple act of intentional creativity can remind a mother who she is, what’s really important and what she is capable of. I provide the best therapeutic arts s

ervices online and in person because every mother deserves a simple and effective outlet for creating a life full of vibrancy, healing and joy. http://www.kaylahuszar.com

Ask someone to tell you about themselves and they’ll list the pragmatic stuff.

Who they work for. Relationship status. Kids. Dog.

Ask them to rip images and words from magazines and make something - no instructions, no wrong answers - and you get something completely different.

A lady in lace that started a conversation about intimacy.

A globe because she misses a sibling a world away.

Dinosaurs - turned out she was a grieving mother.

Beaches because she longs to travel but is terrified of planes.

Harry Potter because it’s her favourite book and nobody ever asks about that.

That’s one session.

None of it would have come up if I’d asked directly. Who meets a therapist for the first time and leads with “I want to be more intimate with my husband but something keeps getting in the way”?

The art said it first. Safely. Without fear. From somewhere underneath the version of herself she presents to the world.

That’s what expressive arts therapy does. It gives the parts of you that don’t have words yet somewhere to go.

"I know what I need to do. But moms don't do that."

Sound familiar?

Angela Tam breaks down why in Episode 88 - our over-functioning isn't a habit. It's our identity. And that's a completely different problem.

My marriage counsellor reframed everything with one question.

If you're not the problem, and they're not the problem - then what is the actual problem?

Angela Tam just gave every mom watching a homework assignment.
Open your bank statement. Look at it. Kids. Food. Household. Now: are you in there anywhere? Not as someone's mom. Just you. "Are you putting money towards your own healing? Your own pleasure? You?"

"You're so dim while being so responsible."
Angela Tam dropped this in Episode 88 and I had to stop and write it down.
She was talking about the over-functioning mom - the one who has taken up so much household leadership that someone telling her she might be doing it wrong feels deeply insulting.
Because she IS doing everything right. And that's kind of the whole problem.

Angela Tam renovated her entire kitchen for one reason.

To make the sink big enough that the dishes could sit in it without her panicking.

That was the only reason.

She needed the physical space to practice tolerating the discomfort of leaving them there.
And then she said something I use with my own clients all the time: "it's not my relationship to dishes. It's actually my relationship to discomfort."

The mom who can't sit down until the dishes are done isn't obsessed with dishes.

MAYBE… she's managing anxiety or trying to control what happens next…. OR doing the thing that feels like it keeps everything together.
Episode 88 with Angela Tam is out now. link in bio.

This is what it feels like to be raised by an emotionally immature parent - and now to be a mother trying to reparent herself while parenting them at the same time.

Your feelings were often not heard growing up. Expressive arts therapy helps because it gives you somewhere to put what is hard to say with words.

The pressure you feel is real. You haven’t made it up.

As a mom guilt therapist who has been working with moms for over ten years - the landscape of motherhood has never been this intense, this researched, this loudly opinionated.

Every choice has a study behind it. Every moment has a method. And somehow you’re supposed to know all of it, apply all of it, and still be present and regulated and fun.

It can make you feel crazy. You’re not crazy!
